Poem:
Frosty mornings greet the day,
Frozen troughs in icy sway.
Shaggy horses in the field,
To the big meadow hay bales they yield.
Icicles from manes hang low,
In winter’s hush, they softly glow.
A fire roars in the hearth’s embrace,
Warmth spreads through the quiet place.
The thrill of snow, a fresh, white sheet,
On 4x4s, we dance, snow at our feet.
Stuck in the drifts, laughter rings clear,
Snow angels form, and joy draws near.
Hand warmers on, we feel the heat,
Wrapped up warm, adventure’s sweet.
The High Country Pub, a welcomed break,
With mulled wine, we pause, hearts awake.
The snowy trails, a wonderland,
Guided by nature’s gentle hand.
Horses trot, a steady pace,
Through winter’s art, a silent grace.
On 4x4s, we roar through the snow,
In Cardrona’s spell, we’re free to flow.
Winter’s touch, a fleeting kiss,
A moment in time, pure, cold bliss.
So, come with us, in winter’s chill,
To a place where nature’s breath stands still.
At The Cardrona, the world’s anew,
Where frost and snow create a view.
An adventure in the season’s glow,
A memory in the soft white snow.
